School Life
As of the time of making this website, I am currently a Junior and is part of the IB Diploma Programme, within my 6 classes of IB, one of them is Computer Science HL. This is honestly one of the most enjoyable classes I have had this year. Moreover, I have taken other Comp Sci courses such as:
Intro to Computer Science
Web Applications
AP Comp Sci A
(Got 4 on the exam)
Lets take a deep dive into my highschool life:
Freshman Year:
Honestly, if I had to say Freshman year was probably the year that I had the most fun and spent most of my time relaxing or just having fun with friends or by myself. The reason this year was so fun was that it was my first year in high school, my first time in the US, and also being that I was a new student at the Village School which meant that I could make a a lot of friends.
Sophomore Year:
If I have to say, sophomore year is probably my least favorite year due to it being tough, filled with more stress and pressure than I expected. The workload seemed to pile up quickly, and balancing school with everything else became overwhelming. It felt like I was constantly trying to catch up, but never quite on top of things. However, second semester of my Sophomore year, I was able to create some study habits for myself and make up for the hardships in first semester.
General Overview
A general overview of myself with what my hobbies are and my life in school along with what I plan to do after school.
Computer Science
I am very interested in the field of computer science and the overall subject as I've been hooked towards it ever since I was a child. I feel like computer science allows me to do anything I want and really bring my imagination into the real world. Furthermore, I started at the very basics of computer science with block coding and making games on Scratch.
I still have my account after 16 years!
As of writing this I am currently a Junior at The Village School taking the IB Diploma with classes of:
Computer Science HL
Math AA HL
Psychology HL
Physics SL
Language and Literature SL
Spanish Ab Initio
Programming??
After I graduate and hopefully get into a top school for computer science such as Rice or UT Austin, even though computer science is so popular it is very much possible to become a great computer scientist anywhere in the world. However, if I am able to go to these top schools I will meet amazing people and work with them to build connections or even work with them for projects in the future.
Computer programming is the process of creating instructions for computers to understand and perform specific tasks. These instructions are typically written in programming languages like Python, Java, or C++ and then translated to binary (0s and 1s) that enable computers to solve problems, automate processes, and create applications we use every day such as the website that I'm making!
Basketball and Dwayne Wade
One of my childhood sports is basketball, and I was very fortunate to be introduced to the amazing sport at a young age. Furthermore, I love basketball for its fast-paced action and the excitement of teamwork and strategy. The thrill of watching players make incredible shots, execute perfect plays, and the sheer energy of the game keeps me hooked along with the players' athletism. The sport also offers a sense of community and connection with fans and players alike.
Dwyane Wade stands out to me as a favorite player because of his incredible skill and relentless determination on the court. His ability to make clutch plays, combined with his leadership and sportsmanship, makes him a standout figure in the game. Wade’s career achievements and memorable moments have left a lasting impression on me. He is the main reason on why I support the Miami Heat as this was where he played during his prime years.
Football through the lens of TH14, and CR7
I'm pretty sure everyone has played soccer or rather football in their childhoods or in their life time before. Other than basketball, I also love to play football for its dynamic and skillful maneuvers that define each match. The game’s global appeal and the excitement of watching teams battle it out with precision and strategy create a captivating experience. Football's simplicity yet universal reach make it easy to appreciate and follow, no matter where you are.
Thierry Henry is a favorite of mine for his elegance and exceptional goal-scoring ability on the field. His speed, technique, and creativity made him one of the most exciting players to watch. Similarly, Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) is a standout for his extraordinary athleticism and relentless drive to succeed. His impressive goal-scoring record, combined with his dedication and work ethic, sets him apart as one of the greatest players of all time, if not the greatest. And in my opinion, he will be the greatest player of all time when his boots are hanged up.
My third sport: Ultimate Frisbee
My third sport is ultimate frisbee because it’s a great way to stay active and have fun with friends. The blend of skill and casual play makes each game exciting, whether we're making impressive throws or just having a good time in the park. The freedom and creativity involved in frisbee keep me engaged and entertained.
When I’m out on the field, I love experimenting with different throws and improving my technique. The satisfaction of perfecting a throw or pulling off a tricky move adds to the enjoyment of the game. Not only that, throwing a far throw and seeing ur teammate catch it all the way in the endzone must be one of the best feelings ever. Frisbee also offers a unique combination of athleticism and fun that makes each session a rewarding experience.
